Content

Supporting diverse stories and storytellers is an essential component of our commitment to inclusion and to fostering a deeper sense of understanding and appreciation for different points of view and lived experiences.

At AT&T, we know it’s important for audiences to see themselves in the stories we tell.

In 2021, 88rising and AT&T were awarded a Gold Shorty Impact Award for our Asia Rising Together benefit concert, a virtual variety experience that commemorated Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month via a live streamed show that mixed music, cultural arts, and conversations that denounced Asian hate and promoted healing and awareness..

In 2019, “Lucky Grandma,” a movie about an ornery, chain-smoking Chinese grandmother with a small-time gambling habit premiered at the Tribeca Film Fest. The writers of the movie were the winners of the AT&T Presents: Untold Stories $1 million challenge.

In 2019, Kate Tsang was awarded $1 million to pursue her vision of a film called “Marvelous and the Black Hole” that was pitched during AT&T Presents: Untold Stories.

We are proud to support stories and storytellers that bring diversity of experiences and perspectives to life, and we are committed, notably through WarnerMedia, to fostering diversity in front of, and behind, the camera.

WarnerMedia is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, as moral and business imperatives. It is essential that our workforce, content and creative partners reflect the diversity of our society and the world around us. Together, with other production companies, networks, guilds, unions, talent agencies and others in the industry, we all must ensure there is greater inclusion of women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, those with disabilities and other underrepresented groups in greater numbers both in front of and behind the camera. In September 2018, WarnerMedia announced a Production Diversity Policy which included the commitment to report on our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts annually.
